Tyne, and Across the Moor he is seen at his best,
showing in them distinction and refinement of
vision; and in his paintings called the Merry Month
of May much decorative feeling. Of Mr. Lobley's
pictures, Harvest Time, Near West Kirby, Albert
Gate, A Welsh Cottage, One Summer Day, and an
Idyll, all went to show that Mr. Lobley takes a
place of promise amongst our student landscape-
painters. The works of Miss Grover, though show-
ing some inequality, prove her, when at her best,
possessed of originality and freshness of view. We
believe this to be her first exhibition ; in future ones
we shall look to see good results when her
originality finds more spontaneous expression.
The Gilbert-Garret Competition for Sketching
Clubs which took place in November at South
Kensington, was this year extremely gratifying in
the quality of the competing work. The judges for
the year were Mr. Mark Fisher, Mr. Wilson Steer
and Mr. H. Pegram. The prizes were given away
by Mr. Seymour Lucas. The sculpture seemed
especially promising, and some of the landscapes
showed the careful observation and close study
which in competitions of this kind is so much to
be encouraged.

among the few really original etchers whom we
have amongst us at the present time is hardly to
be disputed. There are qualities in all his etched
work which show him to have not only a true grasp
of the essentials of etching but also a very correct
taste which enables him to select the best material
for his work and to deal with it in the most appro-
priate manner. That, as a pupil of Professor
Legros, he has been trained in a specially good
school may be conceded, but his etchings have in
them much more than could be obtained by train-
ing alone. If he had not learned his craft so well
he would very likely have been hampered by the
difficulties of a process which especially needs to
be mastered before it can be used to fully express
the artist's intentions. But knowing his craft, he
can make it serve him admirably in the statement
of a very personal and independent conviction.
The sense of style, the decorative feeling, and the
perception of nature's sentiment, which appear so
plainly in all his excellently handled plates, have
not be acquired from the teaching of any master,
Dut are inherent qualities which come directly from
his temperament. Not often has he shown them
better than in his etching, A Becchwood Avenue,
Tyne, and Across the Moor he is seen at his best,
